UAE President Affirms Support for Ending Sudan Crisis in Call with Sudanese Army Chief

 

United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has reiterated the UAE’s commitment to supporting efforts to resolve the ongoing crisis in Sudan. According to the Emirati state news outlet WAM, this statement was made during a phone call on Thursday, July 18, with Sudanese army leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

Sheikh Mohammed emphasized the UAE's eagerness to back all initiatives aimed at de-escalation and crisis resolution, enhancing Sudan’s stability and security. He also highlighted the importance of fulfilling the aspirations of the Sudanese people, whose conflict has significantly hindered their prospects.

This conversation underscores the UAE’s dedication to playing a constructive role in Sudan’s peace process, marking a critical moment in diplomatic efforts. The UAE’s active diplomatic engagement reflects its readiness to contribute to improving the situation.

The conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) began in April last year due to disagreements over the transition to free elections. The war has had devastating effects, with the UN estimating that half of Sudan’s population—around 25 million people—now requires aid. Ten million people have been displaced, and many face starvation.

Sudanese UN Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed informed the Security Council in June about the severe impacts of the ongoing violence, which has deliberately targeted towns and cities. Despite these challenges, the UAE continues to emphasize its support for peaceful resolution and de-escalation in line with the Sudanese people’s wishes.

The UAE’s commitment to Sudan’s security and stability reflects its broader goal of promoting peace and humanitarian aid in the region. By reaffirming its support for de-escalation and peaceful resolution, the UAE aims to help achieve a lasting solution to the crisis, thereby fostering stability and security in Sudan.
